No. Not the same.



You made a sweeping statement.



I countered with a less sweeping statement – one that was specifically and clearly about responses from whomsoever I had personally encountered. However, it was a fairer indication of something than your sweeping statement about "the majority" , which then turns out to have been grounded in nothing more than 'people I have spoken to'.







Don't fret – you'll never be accused of being a member of any such latter group.







Nothing has been said to that effect. Your chip is showing.







Nope. I'm sponsoring a football team myself this coming season.



I have a "real issue" with what FA described very succinctly a few posts ago.







But not so dull that you don't keep returning for further punishment.







So what will your contribution be, as part of that "we"? Because if everyone says: "'We' is the UK, LOCOG, the athletes, the workers, the spectators, the press, etc, etc, etc" as a way of avoiding answering the question directly, there really will be no legacy of the variety you claim "we" will make.









What?



So the importance or otherwise of any story is based on how long it might be around?







Nobody is saying "funding wouldn't have been cut anyway". And yes, there is an economic crisis: one that is being increased by cuts and 'austerity'.







Who has claimed that in general? And here specifically?

Remember my rule on quotes? Neither the time nor the inclination.



I'll leave you now, wallowing unattractively in self-adulation, cynicism and negativity and looking down your considerable nose at the poor saps who clearly don't know any better.



Meanwhile, I'll not worry too much about a few cleaners bunking up together for a fortnight or a few people getting their wrists slapped for trying to cash in on the Olympic brand, and I'll drink a beer (contributing to the economy, you see) and enjoy an epic event taking place in the UK.



As for internet "intelligentsia" - you're welcome to each other.

Well, not now, anyway.

bye

Jesus, the day I'm approved of by you two sad cases is the day I give up.



Thanks for the replies, cheered me right up.

Crikey Cronus you're back, I thought you had gone away to suck a bit of post op cock

Haven't you fooked off to play with your toy soldiers yet?

Ooh they're all crawling out from under their stones. Awfully intimidated by the razor sharp wit on display.



Not sure I can handle many more cutting comments.

You make a habit of this don't you?



I seem to recollect you throwing strop after FA handed you your lunch on another thread, saying it was your final word. Then just like a woman, you won't let it lie and keep coming back for more. Is there some form of masochistic streak in your genes?

I lose interest when there's more quote boxes than decent points being debated and the thread is going round in circles. You'll never change someone's mind on an internet forum so why waste any more time.



Besides, it's only an internet forum, why do you care where and when I post?!



Always consider it a minor success when the usual suspects gang up together.

You are a wag

And the circle jerk is complete.
